Technical Abstract

The present specification proposes a discontinuous reception operation method characterized by: in a wireless communication system, a terminal in which a plurality of cells are configured performing a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring on-duration; receiving bandwidth part (BWP) setting information, wherein the BWP setting information informs a specific BWP; receiving a PDCCH on the basis of the PDCCH monitoring, wherein the PDCCH includes dormant indication information for a specific cell from among the plurality of cells of the terminal; and activating the specific BWP on the basis of the dormant indication information indicating non-dormancy.
